- Open the mod zip file using 7-zip, WinRAR or other similar program, open minecraft.jar the same way, and copy all of the contents of the zip file into minecraft.jar
- Don't forget to remove the META-INF folder of minecraft.jar!

Run Minecraft and create a world. To create a boat, you have to create a special block: the Custom Ship Creator. The recipe for this block is just three iron lingots forming a vertical line (future versions of the mod will have more complex recipes).

Find a large mass of water, and place the block just under the surface of the water. After placing it, it will spawn a 3x3x3 scaffold made of glass. Right-clicking on the block will open a GUI where you can set the dimensions of the scaffold that you see fit. Place blocks inside the scaffold to construct your ship. The ship's front always points north.

After building your ship, open the block's GUI again and select "Create Custom Ship". The ship will start to move! You can ride it just like a normal MC boat.

If the ship suffers damage from fire or collisions with the ground or other objects, it loses hit points. When hit points drop below zero, the ship sinks and when it touches ground it transforms into a "shipwreck", i.e., transforms back to regular blocks.

HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC III: HORN OF THE ABYSS is, its current form, a mod crafted by the Heroes community for Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death. It is the first fan mod in the history of the entire series to successfully add a mostly-stable, all-new town, without replacing any other factions in doing so.

As you know, Minecraft is run using the Light-weight Java Game Library (LWJGL). We’ve been using a really old version of LWJGL because last time we tried to update it the game broke down and became unplayable for a lot of people. We are going to try to update it again once we release Minecraft 1.2.

However, the recent LWJGL version (2.8.3) includes a bunch of fixes for those of you who play with non-latin languages. If you want to try it out (to be able to chat in Japanese or Korean, for example), you should go to LWJGL’s download page and get lwjgl-2.8.3.zip. In it you will find a folder called “jar” and a folder called “native.” Pick the files in those folders and replace the files located in your “.minecraft/bin” and “.minecraft/bin/natives” folders. Chatting in Korean should be a lot easier now.

After running at least once, check out the options in file '.minecraft/mods/mod_thx.options' for controls and other settings (see below for annotated listing).

Please keep in mind that this is an early release of a mod still under construction. Even though no corruption issues have been reported, please back-up your worlds before using (always a good idea). Multi-player is not supported and has not been tested in any way. Please make sure that Minecraft and ModLoader are working properly before installing this mod -- see log ouput in .minecraft/ModLoader.txt

1. Download and install OptiFine 1.1 (preferably on a clean Minecraft.jar, if you've got a modded one already you can give it a shot but no guarantees this mod will work with an already modded Minecraft). 2. Download and extract the folder inside the archive anywhere (like on your Desktop). Open the folder, and run "INSTALLER.exe" (or nitrous.jar if you're not on Windows). Click "Install Mods", wait for the mod to finish patching Minecraft.jar. Once it's done, you should be all set! Run Minecraft and enjoy unbelievable shaders! But keep reading, for there are some tweaks you must make to your video settings to create the best experience! 2b. Make sure you have the latest and best shaders for you found in the Additional Files section below. Shaders Only 1.1 is updated more frequently than the main download and installer. 3. Go to "Options..." and make sure that your FOV is set to Normal (all the way to the left). Then open up Video Settings and then Details and turn off Sky if you want to eliminate shadows being drawn on the sky. Go back to Video Settings and then click on Other, and enable Smooth FPS. This setting improves my performance by quite a bit.
